| Western Australia (WA) supplies around three-quarters of Australia’s exports of live sheep. The number of sheep exported live from WA has ranged from 4.5 million to 2.4 million with the trend in numbers exported being downwards. The future of this export trade appears to be increasingly vulnerable and uncertain, primarily because of the influence of animal welfare lobbyists. This paper uses scenario analysis to assess the impact on WA’s sheep supply chain of the termination of the live sheep export trade. The supply chain comprises three subsectors: farm production, processing/wholesale and retailing/export. The impacts of the trade termination on each of these sub-sectors are reported. These impacts are strongly linked to how producers respond to... |

The effectiveness of the FPC's main policy approach to capitalise on the environmental value of forest establishment for salinity reduction is addressed in the Department of Agriculture and Food's submission to the FPC review. The value of this approach not supported by DAFWA hydrology work which concludes that benefits are highly site-specific and there... |
